UT researchers have developed the first viable alternative to a 75-year-old method for sequencing proteins. Image of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Scientists at The University of Texas ...

Researchers have developed a new method for designing de novo proteins with tailored properties. Their approach leverages the structure prediction capabilities of AlphaFold2, combining them with an ...

Proteins are made of chains of amino acids, and a basic tenet of biology is that the sequence of amino acids determines how a protein folds into a 3D shape which, in turn, dictates the protein’s ...

Protein drugs feature significant advantages over small molecule therapeutics, including low toxicity, high specificity, and development speed. However, the quality control requirements are ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...

Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a blood test that can identify early signs of Alzheimer's disease by measuring proteins linked to the condition. The new test, known ...

Current methods for cancer diagnosis are based on identifying biomarkers—molecules that reveal a particular state or process in the body—produced by the tumor or associated proteins. Not surprisingly, ...
